My Seibon hood was 100% perfect fitment. Small imperfections in the weave (all carbon fiber has this). I have seen both good and bad fitment. Regardless you usually need to readjust your fenders to get the gap correct. You can do it yourself or take it to a reputable body shop. Most people I have seen complain about fitment never had their fenders adjusted. Just my $0.02 on the matter.

I bought the Seibon...they're $525 shipped if you call the number in the ebay auction instead of buying it on ebay.. 562-695-1165
Decent price for a piece of **** i guess
I'm going to put some heat shielding on the underneath to help delay the yellowing. My last hood was starting to yellow right above the manifold..
I don't understand what type of hood I used to have....Its just like the Seibon VS-II style hood but it has the Spirit of Competition logo under the clearcoat like a Ralliart hood..did the ralliarts come out with that style first and Seibon just copied it and called it VS-II or somethin??

So, really there ain't a good carbon fiber hood for the evo's? I had a VIS on my WRX and thing went well until, winter came around and water emerged itself under the material. There after i got into an accident and tha hood was totaled. Nuff said 
Every one is complaining about all the carbon fiber yellowing one time. Well duh it's because they only come with about 2 layers of clear coat. So when u buy your hood first thing u do is take it to a paint shop and have them spray about 5 more layers of clear and u will be good to go with proper wax and cleaning. So yellowing shouldn't even be an issue with either.
